Anything could have happened - any team (especially the panthers) could have jumped infront of us to pick him I trust mike mayock when it comes to the draft and he seems to believe trading up for cooks was the correct thing to do and SP and loomis know what they are doing, |

I don't like the trade

When you are 1 play maker away from having that lethality we used to have you go get him..... 4 "almost" like him isn't as dangerous as 1 him. Also, with all due respect, Morgan and Toon need to be left out of the conversation.... Both you and I together are only 14 receptions in the NFL from tying them. Toon has had very bad hands and the same people wanting to get rid of Ivory because he couldn't stay healthy are up on Morgan who can't even stay in uniform. I think Ivory had as many injuries as Morgan has had total plays. The draft, the roster, and the salary cap are a balancing act.... They are not independent. So you trade down from 27 and get 3 WR all of which turn out to not be as good as Cooks. Did you get better for 2014? No You grab 3 OLinemen that don't beat out what we have now, did you get better? No |

Re: I don't like the trade
I don't mind the trade at all.
I was all for a trade back but you can't wait around to see how things play out. Hindsight is 20\20. When they made the trade and pick I support it. I think he is a great player and worth the trade up. If you target a player that you really want... YOU GO GET HIM. |

Re: I don't like the trade
After watching what Sean and Mickey did the past two years with this team,I dont question their decisions. They may not be perfect,but I have total respect and trust in what they do or dont do. I would have been fine with whatever they did in the first round. These guys know what they're doing. We only have limited insight and knowledge when it comes to evaluating prospects and draft moves. Thats why good GM's and coaches are so important to an organizations sucess.

Re: I don't like the trade
When you review the entire body of work of Loomis/Payton in regards to personnel and draft, they're like a powerful fourth hole hitter in Baseball...
There average is lower than most, but they do hit some homeruns... That was an amazing draft last year... But their flaw is they do get fixated on a player and tend to make mistakes... The Saints were convinced Glenn Dorsey and Jeremy Shockey additions would propel them past Chicago in the playoffs... Well they overpaid the Giants for Shockey and panicked when Chiefs' Carl Peterson sensed the desperation for Dorsey and tried to extort them... Saints FO fell back, but still smarting, made the horrible mistake of trading with the Pats to get Ellis... Probably passing on a great linebacker in Jerrod Mayo and could have let the Bengals spare us Ellis and his lame, lazy-@$$ game... Just because some don't drink the coolaid, that doesn't mean they're less a fan - some just question - and that is a good thing... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
